Starting the Generator

Your motor home has a touchscreen to control the generator and manual switches located 
in the door area. There is a secondary switch located on the generator itself. An hour meter 
that keeps track of generator hours used is located on the touchscreen and a separate hour 
meter on the generator.

To Manually Start the Generator

1. 

At either “START/STOP” switch, press and hold the start portion of the switch to start 
the generator. Depending on the outside temperature the start process can take up to 15 
seconds. Once the generator starts running, release the switch.

2. 

An LED above the start switch will light when the generator is running.

3. 

For better performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator 
engine warm up for two minutes before turning “ON” 120-volt appliances.

For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the manufacturer’s 
owner’s manual.

Automatic Generator Start (AGS) 

Your motor home models is equipped with an Automatic Generator Start system (AGS).  
The controls are built into the touchscreen system. When enabled, the Automatic Generator 
Start system will automatically start and stop the generator according to operator or factory 
pre-selected parameters.

Refer to the AGS Start section or the 

Touch Screen User Guide 

(in your warranty packet) 

will give detailed instructions on the Automatic Generator Start.
